Cloud Under Control

Cloud computing is now a central component of modern enterprise IT. However, the speed and functionality offered by deeply integrated cloud services also create dependencies that are difficult to break later on. Sovereignty does not arise from isolation, but rather from conscious design. “Exit capability” describes the ability to further develop architectures, replace components, and realistically keep migration paths open. It arises from the interplay of technical openness, organizational competence, and economic clarity.

AI Translator for SharePoint: Content which is available worldwide

In many companies, SharePoint has long been more than just a document repository. The platform serves as a central hub for internal communication, process information, project knowledge, and collaboration. It’s where news is published, knowledge is shared, and relevant information is made available to various target audiences. However, when teams collaborate internationally, a challenge arises that quickly becomes apparent in day-to-day work: content is often available in only one language. This can lead to misunderstandings, create additional coordination efforts, or, in the worst case, result in important information not being used at all.

IT Sourcing & Vendor Relationships: Why We Need to Rethink Pricing and Contracts.

Rising operating costs, tightening budgets, and new dependencies on cloud and platform providers are changing the rules of the game in IT sourcing. What was primarily a matter of price negotiation when noventum’s sourcing consulting practice began in 1998 has now become an ongoing task: Contracts must allow for adjustments, governance models must be effective, and incentive systems determine quality, speed, and innovation. This article examines the economic mechanisms behind typical friction points in provider relationships and explains why transparency and controllability are now more important than the supposedly best price.

An IT Strategy That Makes a Difference

From strategic vision to real-world transformation. IT is no longer merely a support function; it shapes business models, innovation, and competitiveness. In a world marked by technological change, geopolitical uncertainty, and resource limitations, IT bears a dual responsibility: it must maintain the stability of day-to-day operations while also ensuring the company’s long-term future viability.

From IT strategy to implementation – success factors and challenges of international IT transitions

International IT transitions rarely fail because of technology – but rather because of culture, communication and expectations. Setting up tech hubs in India, Poland or Romania can address the shortage of IT specialists, but it also brings complex challenges. How can knowledge be transferred sustainably, employees avoid being overworked and intercultural teams be brought together successfully? Using specific projects, this article shows which success factors really matter – and why genuine collaboration requires more than just tools and processes.

More than technology: How companies with vision, culture and expertise achieve AI maturity

Many companies are faced with the challenge of integrating artificial intelligence into their organisation in a meaningful way - between the pressure to innovate, limited resources and cultural resistance. There is often a lack of strategic direction, targeted skills development for employees and an environment that promotes learning. Without a clear interplay between leadership, culture, governance and qualification, well-intentioned initiatives risk failing before they have a chance to take effect.

Service Integration and Management (SIAM): The key to successfully managing complex provider landscapes

Companies with a complex IT infrastructure in particular have built up a diverse landscape of IT service providers over the past few decades. The spectrum ranges from SaaS and IaaS providers to highly specialised service partners. In the course of this development, diverse service relationships and dependencies have often emerged, some of which are difficult to penetrate. Overview, transparency and consistent service quality often fall by the wayside.
